2006 Hafei Simbo Dimensions, Size & Specs

With a width of 1695 mm (66.7 inches), the Hafei Simbo offers a balance between interior space and manageable external dimensions. This width allows for comfortable seating without making the car excessively wide, contributing to easier navigation through tight city streets and parking spaces.

The Hafei Simbo has a curb weight of 1180 kg (approximately 2601 lbs). A curb weight in this range ensures the vehicle is relatively lightweight, which can aid in achieving better fuel efficiency and nimble handling, especially important in a compact hatchback designed for city use.

The maximum weight rating of the Hafei Simbo is 1460 kg (about 3,218 lbs). This includes the vehicle's curb weight plus the maximum load of passengers and cargo. It means the vehicle can carry around 280 kg (approximately 617 lbs) above its curb weight safely, catering to everyday family and transport needs without compromising structural integrity or safety.

Standard residential garages typically measure around 2400 mm (8 feet) wide by 4800 mm (16 feet) deep. With a width of 1695 mm (66.7 inches) and length of 3885 mm (153 inches), the Hafei Simbo will comfortably fit into a standard garage with ample room for door clearance and space to move around the vehicle inside the garage.

The Hafei Simbo is equipped with 14-inch rims paired with tire sizes of 175/65 R14. This setup balances handling, comfort, and cost efficiency, providing a smooth ride and sufficient grip suitable for various road conditions.

The height of the Hafei Simbo is 1635 mm (64.4 inches), offering generous headroom for passengers, which is a notable advantage in the compact hatchback segment. This slightly taller profile enhances comfort for taller occupants but may slightly increase aerodynamic drag compared to lower-profile vehicles, though it remains well-suited for urban commuting.

The 2006 Hafei Simbo does not have a direct predecessor widely available in most markets since it was a relatively new model introduction during that period by Hafei. Thus, it is considered an initial generation design that set its footprint in the compact hatchback category without a direct predecessor for comparison.

Compared to similar compact hatchbacks from the mid-2000s, the Hafei Simbo’s length of 3885 mm and curb weight of 1180 kg place it comfortably within the typical range for economical city cars like the Suzuki Swift or Hyundai Getz. It is slightly taller than some rivals, offering better headroom, but maintains competitive width and weight, making it a practical choice in its segment.

The Hafei Simbo is a compact hatchback designed primarily for urban driving, characterized by its economical size, lightweight design, and practical dimensions. It suits daily commuting, small families, and city dwellers needing a simple, efficient, and maneuverable vehicle. Its compact form makes parking and navigating city traffic easier while providing reasonable comfort and space inside.
